more particularly to windows of the projecting type. i

The invention has for one object to provide an improved projecting type window in which the bars of the ventilator are similarly arranged and their outside faces are in the same plane outside the framing bars and the bar at the pivotal edge takes a position with an outside portion thereof inside a part of the associated frame bar of the window frame when the ventilator is closed.

The invention has for another object to provide an improved projecting type window in which the openings formed in the ventilator bars; to permit the required angular movement of the ventilator to reverse the same are closed by means associated with the means for pivotally supporting the ventilator upon the frame.

The invention has for further objects to pro' vide closure means for the openings associated with the means for guiding-the ventilator and to provide an improved guide shoe for the-ventilator constructed to close the associated opening in the ventilator when the latter is closed.

These and other objects of the invention will become apparent from the following description and claims, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is an outside elevation of a window embodying my invention;

' Figure 2 is an inside elevation, partly broken away, of a portion of the window;

Figures 3 and 4 are cross sections on the line 33 and 4-4, respectively, of Figure 1;

Figure 5 is a cross section on the line 5-5. of Figure 2;

Figure 6 is a perspective view of a portion of the window. I

an Outside short flange 8 and an inside long flange 9 extending toward the opening and corresponding respectively to the outside short and inside long flanges of the side framing bars. The intermediate cross framing bars are also each formed with an inside long flange H] extending away from'the opening. The ventilator is formed of the similarly arranged top, bottom andside ventilator bars II, IZ'and I3, respectively, with their outside and inside faces in the The bottom bar and the side barssame planes; are alike, each having an outside long flange 14' and an inside short flange 15 for contacting with and lying outside the outside short flanges and inside long flanges, respectively, of the fram ing bars extending toward the opening.

top bar has the outside long flange l6 and the inside short flange I! which are adapted to con-- The tact with the outside short and inside long flanges, res'pectively,:of the associated intermediatecr'oss framing bar extending toward the opening. The long flange l6 has its upper'portion inclined upwardly and toward the inside to engage the insideface' of the outside short flange 8, this face being on an angle." The short i flange I! is adapted to engage the outside face of the long flange 9. 'With this construction,

the window, in addition to presenting a pleasing appearance" because of the similarly arranged ventilator bars, has good weathering properti'es inasmuch as each ventilator bar has tw'o spaced zones of contact with its associated framing bar when the ventilator is in closed position and,

furthermore, the framing bar extendingover the top ventilator bar has a portion to the outside of a portion thereof and the bottom and side prises the frame I and the'ventilator 2. The 1 frame is formed of the framing bars 3 with their outside and inside faces in the same planes. shown, the ventilator opening in the frame is formed by portions of the side framing barsintermediate their ends and by intermediate cross framing bars. The side framing bars are alike, each being formed with'an outside short flange 4 and an inside long flange 5 extending toward ventilator bars have portions outside their asso.-'

ciated'framing bars. v

The ventilator, as illustrated, swings outwardly from the bottom and its top bar slides down wardly and turns angularly at the same time. The ventilator is pivotally supported upon the frame by means of the shoes l1 and the balance arms 'l8.' The shoes are pivotally mounted upon the resilient formed steel brackets 19 which are fixedly secured to the sides of the webs of the side ventilator bars facing the side framing bars."

The shoes are located in the zone of the top ventilator 'bar and at its ends and each shoe slidably engages and is guided'by the adjacent side framing bar. In detail, each shoe has the pin 20 which is journaled in its associated bracket and the spaced flanges 20' and 2| slidably engaging the channel formed by the outside short and inside long flanges of the associated side framing bar. The balance arms H! are preferably formed of spring steel and have their upper ends pivotally connected to the side ventilator bars and their lower ends pivotally connected to the side framing bars. Both the balance arms and the shoes and their brackets are located in the spaces between the adjacent side ventilator and framing bars.

For the purpose of swinging the ventilator to reverse the same so that both the outside and inside faces of its glass may be washed from inside the building, the ventilator is notched out or formed with the openings 22 at its upper corners. The openings are formed as shown by removing the ends of the top ventilator bar II and by removing aligned parts in the upper portions of the outside long flanges 14 of the side ventilator bars 13. These openings provide the necessary clearance for the required swinging of the ventilator without interfering with the side framing bars. To close these openings when the ventilator is in closed position, I have formed integral closure means upon each shoe IT. The closure means is in the nature of the extensions 23 which project in an outside direction from the shoe and have their outside faces flush with the outside faces of the top and side ventilator bars when the ventilator is closed. It will be noted that the upper ends of the extensions are beveled on the same angle as the upper portion of the outside long flange of the top ventilator bar for this purpose. Each extension has the flange 24 which overlaps the associated side framing bar and is spaced from the outside face thereof so that as the shoe is reciprocated the paint or finish upon the side framing bar will not be damaged.

With this construction, the shoes form the closure means for the openings and since the closure extensions of the shoes substantially fill the openings with but very little clearance and these openings are relatively small, the Weather sealing of the window is not appreciably affected.

What I claim as my invention is:

1. A window comprising a frame formed of framing bars, a ventilator formed of bars having their outside faces in the same plane with one of said ventilator bars taking a position inside a part of the associated framing bar when the ventilator is closed, said last mentioned ventilator bar being formed with openings to permit swinging of said ventilator, means for pivotally supporting said ventilator upon said frame comprising shoes upon said ventilator located in the zone of said last mentioned ventilator bar and slidably engaging certain of said framing bars, and balance arms pivotally connected to certain of said framing bars and ventilator bars and closure means for the openings carried upon said shoes.

2. A window comprising a frame, a swinging ventilator upon said frame having portions overlying said frame and a pivotal connection be-- tween said frame and ventilator extending trans.. versely of said overlying portions and compelling a portion of said ventilator to move transversely past a portion of said frame during the swinging of said ventilator, said last mentioned portion of said ventilator having openings at the ends of said overlying portions to receive said frame during the swinging of said ventilator and said pivotal connection being provided with means for closing the openings when said ventilator is closed.

3. A window comprising a frame, a swinging ventilator upon said frame having a portion extending along an edge of said ventilator and overlying said frame, and a pivotal connection between said frame and ventilator having a pivotal axis extending transversely of the above mentioned edge and compelling a portion of said ventilator to move transversely past a portion of said frame during the swinging of said ventilator, said last mentioned portion of said ventilator having an opening at an end of said overlying portion to receive said frame during the swinging of said ventilator and said pivotal connection being provided with means for closing the opening when said ventilator is closed.

4. A window comprising a frame, a swinging ventilator upon said frame having portions extending along its opposite edges and overlying said frame, and a pivotal connection between said frame and ventilator having a pivotal axis extending transversely of said opposite edges and compelling a portion of said ventilator to move transversely past a portion of said frame during the swinging of said ventilator, said last mentioned portion of said ventilator having openings at its corners and at the ends of said overlying portions to receive said frame during the swinging of said ventilator and said pivotal connection being provided with means for overlying said frame and closing the openings when said ventilator is closed.

5. A window comprising a frame, a swinging ventilator upon said frame having portions extending along its opposite edges and overlying said frame, and a pivotal connection between said frame and ventilator extending transversely of said opposite edges within the border of said ventilator and compelling a portion of said ventilator to move transversely past a portion of said frame during the swinging of said ventilator, said last mentioned portion of said ventilator having openings at the ends of said overlying portions to receive said frame during the swinging of said ventilator and said pivotal connection comprising shoes slidably engaging said frame and provided with means for closing the openings when said ventilator is in closed position.

6. A window comprising a frame provided with an opening, a ventilator formed of bars with opposite bars having portions overlying said frame, and a pivotal connection between said frame and ventilator located within the boundary of said ventilator and extending transversely of said opposite bars and compelling a portion of said ventilator at corresponding ends of said opposite bars to move transversely past a portion of said frame during the swinging of said ventilator, saidlast mentioned portion of said ventilator having openings at the ends of said overlyingportions to receive said frame during the swinging of said ventilator and said pivotal connection being-provided with means for closing the openings when said ventilator is in closed position.
